Below, utilize diagram that example of the present invention is described.
Figure 1 shows that as about an example of the present invention all formation stereograms of ink-jet coating apparatus 1.In with figure, set coating element on the upward face 21 of ink-jet coating apparatus 1 covering base 2, and the ink that is provided with as the environment holding unit applies box 11.On this ink coating box 11, being equipped with will be from the supply pipe 12 of the gas channeling ink coating box 11 of not shown gas supply source, and is connected ink is applied discharge pipe 13 on the exhaust apparatus that the gases in the box 11 discharge.At the desired location of ink coating box 11, be provided with the detector of gas concentration, can carry out the gas in the ink coating box 11 and the concentration of moisture and detect.Be fed into kind and the concentration of gas or the flow of humidity and gas of the gas in the ink coating box 11, can change or adjust, and kind and the concentration of gas or the flow of humidity and gas by these gases of control, can make the environment in the ink coating box 11, remain a kind of environment that the volatilization of aforementioned solvents is suppressed.
Utilize Fig. 2, the formation that this ink is applied the applying device in box 11 describes.
Be disposed with X workbench 22, Y workbench 23 on facial 21 on the base 2, and the objective table 24 of on Y workbench 23, supporting to have the substrate that will apply to keep.At this maintenance substrate S above objective table 24.The glass substrate that this substrate S uses for for example organic electroluminescence panel, but utilize the coated substrate of applying device of the present invention, be not limited to this glass substrate.
And on face 21 on the base 2, the support 25 of door shape uprightly is provided with the form of crossing over objective table 24, and on the support 25 of this shape, applicator head unit 26 is installed.This applicator head unit 26 comprises lift component 26a on the support 25 that is installed in a shape along the vertical direction movably, be installed in L shaped supporter 26b on the side of this lift component 26a, downward from the horizontal part of this L shaped supporter 26b, the applicator head 26c that installs rotationally as rotating shaft with vertical direction.
In applying device shown in Figure 2, by illustrated providing ink tube never, to with objective table 24 on the substrate S that kept supply with ink in abutting connection with the applicator head 26c of configuration, and from applicator head 26c to substrate S spraying and applying liquid, and make substrate S utilize moving and moving of X workbench 22 and Y workbench 23, can make the setting regions on the substrate S coated.
At this moment, in known techniques, as previously mentioned, sometimes from applicator head 26c ejection and on substrate S penetrate and the shape of dry ink can produce difference.Its reason is considered to, because of be coated with on the substrate ink the zone near environmental condition and different, the change of flow conditions, make the rate of drying of the ink of penetrating different in the area of application, the result is producing difference in shape.And, on on-chip zone of carrying out coating, when the substrate S on the objective table 24 is relatively moved to applicator head 26c, and when carrying out the coating of setting regions, because from initial the ink of penetrating, solvent volatilizees successively, so the solvent strength near the environment coated zone can increase gradually sometimes, make rate of drying produce difference thus, produce the difference of uneven drying and shape sometimes.
Utilize ideograph shown in Figure 3, the evaporation mechanism that utilizes ink discharge device coated coating liquid (ink) on substrate is described.Coating liquid L is the shape after applying on the substrate S just, forms the shape shown in Fig. 3 (a).This shape for example with the ink of organic EL under situation about applying on the glass substrate, in order to form ink marks by fine design producing, can be by the control of the wetability of the adjustment of the viscosity that applies liquid and substrate, and form illustrated the sort of shape.
When beginning to apply liquid L dry on substrate S, shown in Fig. 3 (b), solvent spreads to ambient atmos from the surface of coating liquid L and forms steam layer G, and in the generation convection current of the inside of coating liquid L.At this moment, specific area is big mutually with central portion for the edge part of the width of coating liquid L, and the solvent strength near the environment the edge part is also thin than central portion.Therefore, can preferentially carry out drying from edge part.As a result, shown in Fig. 3 (c), though the edge part evaporation is fast, because surface tension rises, play the effect of the coating liquid that stretches, the result is all as coating liquid, forms the recess shapes of edge part protuberance.At the volatility height of the solvent of coating in the liquid, under the too fast situation of rate of drying, dryly under this shape, finish, so coating liquid forms the solidfied material of spill.
In addition, under the suitable situation of rate of drying, proceed drying from the state of Fig. 3 (c), shown in Fig. 3 (d), many from the evaporation change of width central portion, the surface tension of central portion is risen, as all shapes of coating liquid, form and recover the such shape of original shape.Then, when the drying of edge part finishes, shown in Fig. 3 (e), only continue evaporation, play the effect that coating liquid is stretched to center position at central portion, the result, final shown in Fig. 3 (f), form the solidfied material of central part and the roughly the same height of edge part.
Like this,, and make the shape difference of resulting solidfied material by the rate of drying of coating liquid coated on substrate, and, when when the regional inner drying speed of having carried out coating produces difference, can produce the irregular of uneven drying and solidfied material shape.
Therefore, in the applying device 1 of an example of the present invention shown in Figure 1, remain the environment holding unit of the environment that suppresses solvent evaporates as near the environment in zone that coating will have been carried out on the substrate S, has ink coating box 11, and in this ink coating box 11, to on face 21 on the base 2, take in airtight conditions with applying device by maintained substrate S.And, in order to adjust the environment of this ink coating box 11, kind and the concentration of gas or the flow of humidity and gas of the gas control imports to ink coating box 11 from supply pipe 12 in, and finished before the coating of on-chip setting regions, make near the environment in zone that has carried out coating on the aforementioned substrate, remain a kind of environment that suppresses the aforementioned solvents volatilization, so on all zones in coated zone, do not produce drying or significantly delay.And, finishing the coating back by gaseous species and/or environment (gas concentration, humidity, gas flow) in the change ink coating box 11, can make coated zone carry out drying with identical condition, so be difficult to produce the difference of on-chip coating liquid local desiccation speed, therefore can prevent that coating is uneven, and can prevent the uneven homogenize of shape.
The environment that solvent evaporates in the ink coating box 11 are suppressed like this, 40% preferable for more than or equal to the saturated concentration of solvent smaller or equal to 100% environment.When utilizing solvent for the aqueous solution of water during for coating liquid, form more than or equal to the saturated concentration of solvent 40% smaller or equal to 85% environment, even the humidity of environment is good more than or equal to 40% smaller or equal to 85%.
The saturated concentration of solvent less than 40% environment under, too fast for coating liquid rate of drying, and can't obtain good shape about being coated with application.And, in applying the clean room of engineering, form humidity usually, so under the situation of the coating liquid that utilizes the aqueous solution, control can bring harmful effect to shape on the contrary than the low humidity of the humidity in the clean room and unrealistic more than or equal to 40% environment.On the other hand, the viewpoint of the volatilization during suppress setting regions applied, the solvent strength height in the environment is preferable, also can be 100% environment of solvent saturated concentration., be under the situation of the aqueous solution at coating liquid, when to form humidity be 100% environment, reach dew point in the applying device, might produce applying device electric circuit short circuit and get rusty, so preferably make humidity in the environment on be limited to 85%.In the practicality as be about 70%, then can not produce the short circuit of above-mentioned electric circuit and the problem of getting rusty, so comparatively suitable.
Then, will apply liquid after finishing coating on the setting regions of substrate, and be preferably on the zone of having carried out coating and carry out drying equably.Therefore, in applying device of the present invention, can also have the even dryingization unit in zone coated on aforementioned substrate.
Utilize stereogram shown in Figure 4. to have this evenly an enforcement of the applying device of the present invention of dryingization unit describe.In addition, in with figure for the ease of carrying out the explanation of uniforming device, ink shown in Figure 1 coating box 11 not shown in the diagram, even but in the example shown in the figure, in order to finish before the coating of aforementioned on-chip setting regions, near the environment in zone that has carried out coating on the substrate is remained a kind of environment that suppresses solvent evaporates, also be provided with ink coating box 11.And, in figure,, pay with identical symbol, and the repetitive description thereof will be omitted below to the member identical with Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.
As even dryingization unit, in applying device shown in Figure 4, make the applicator head 26c that covers applicator head unit 26 and near the attraction ventilator cowling 31 the substrate S on the objective table 24, with substrate S in abutting connection with setting.This attraction ventilator cowling 31 is in the box-shaped that has opening on the part of substrate S, and is supported by the support 25 of door shape by not shown supportive device.On illustrated attraction ventilator cowling 31, be connected with blast pipe 32 in side surface part, and, can discharge the environmental gas that attract in the cover 31 by this blast pipe 32 is connected with not shown exhaust apparatus.
So, utilize illustrated attraction ventilator cowling 31, can be to the attraction exhaust of the environmental gas part in the zone of having carried out coating on the substrate S, so the zone drying equably of coating that can make carrying out in the zone that is equivalent in attracting case 31, be capped.And, near attraction case 31,, can adjust rate of drying by not shown airspeedometer or air volume meter are set.
Applying device as shown in Figure 4 utilizes like that and attracts exhaust to carry out drying, compares with make its dry drying unit to the substrate surface jet-stream wind, because the influence scope in one's power of air-flow limited, so the air-flow around being difficult to confuse.Therefore, can not bring harmful effect, will carry out the even partly drying in dry zone and make, so comparatively favourable to carrying out zone in addition, dry zone.
Fig. 5 and Figure 6 shows that the applying device of the present invention with even dryingization unit another example all stereograms (Fig. 5) and want portion's stereogram (Fig. 6).In addition, even in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, for the ease of carrying out the explanation of homogenising unit, ink shown in Figure 1 coating box 11 not shown in the diagram, even but in the example shown in the figure, in order to finish before the coating of aforementioned on-chip setting regions, near the environment in zone that has carried out coating on the substrate is remained a kind of environment that suppresses solvent evaporates, also be provided with ink coating box 11.And, in these diagrams,, pay with identical symbol, and the repetitive description thereof will be omitted below to the member identical with Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.
In Fig. 5 and example shown in Figure 6, evenly the dryingization unit is an air knife apparatus 41.This air knife apparatus 41 has to spray to be used air knife nozzle 41a and attracts to use air knife nozzle 41b, and utilize not shown supportive device in the face parallel, to support by the support 25 of door shape movably with substrate S, and spray with the nozzle opening of air knife nozzle 41a and attract nozzle opening form parallel to each other with this with air knife nozzle 41b, roughly with substrate S in abutting connection with configuration.On spraying with air knife nozzle 41a, be connected with another end that on not shown air blast, connects the conduit 41c of an end, attracting to be connected with another end that on not shown pump, connects the conduit 41d of an end with air knife nozzle 41b.And, by spraying gas (air) from the nozzle opening that sprays with air knife nozzle 41a, and attract with the nozzle opening of air knife nozzle 41b from attracting, can make this injection with air knife nozzle 41a with attract with producing air-flow partly near the zone coated between the air knife nozzle 41b, so can make this regional area carry out drying equably.And, under this example, though use air knife nozzle 41a gas jet partly from spraying, but attract the gas of ejection to be attracted to reclaim with air knife nozzle 41b because utilize, so can not bring harmful effect, can make the zone of wanting dry carry out even drying partly to wanting to carry out zone in addition, dry zone.
Even dryingization of the present invention unit is not limited to Fig. 4~example shown in Figure 6.For example, in applying device shown in Figure 1, also can be by finishing before the coating of on-chip setting regions, the environment that ink is applied in the box 11 remains a kind of environment that the volatilization of aforementioned solvents is suppressed, and after finishing coating, from discharge pipe 13 gas that ink applies in the box 11 is discharged, make in the ink coating box 11 and form reduced pressure atmosphere, and make coating liquid coated on the substrate carry out drying equably.
